絶景スカイダイビング　一度は経験してみたい大空で味わうスリルと感動！ビデオ＆写真撮影付きプランあり　by ゴージャンプハワイ＜送迎付き＞

I got drunk... tears. 酔いました・・・涙

Reviewed by: kaoru

It goes without saying that it was an amazing experience. Skydiving was something I had always wanted to try! The views were incredible. However, the instructor, who didn't speak Japanese, seemed to be enjoying himself a bit too much, making several spins, which was fun but made me feel nauseous. It was tough to hold back the urge to throw up. The G-force when the parachute opened was more intense than I imagined, causing unbearable pain in both my brain and body. By the way, I did take motion sickness medication, but it didn't help at all. If you feel good, I can guarantee that it will be an outstanding experience from start to finish! I went directly without a shuttle service, so once the diving was over and the DVD and photos were ready, I could leave right away. For those participating with a shuttle, even if you jump at 9 AM, you have to wait until noon for the shuttle to return. I think it's best to participate with plenty of time to spare. Since the wait can be long, I recommend joining without the shuttle service for those who are short on time!

最高な体験なのは、言うまでもありません。
一度は体験したかったスカイダイビング♪
景色も最高でしたよ。
ただ、日本語の通じないインストラクターさん、
調子に乗ってか何度も旋回して楽しんでくれるのはいいのですが、気分が悪くなってしまいます。
吐きそうなのを我慢するのも大変です。
パラシュートが開いた途端にかかるＧは想像以上で、脳も身体も耐え難い苦痛を伴います。
ちなみに酔止め薬はちゃんと飲んでましたが、全然効かないんですよ。
気分さえ良ければ、終始最高な体験になる事は保証します！
私は送迎無しで、直接行ったので、ダイビングが終わり、ＤＶＤや写真が出来上がれば直ぐに帰れました。
送迎での参加の方は９時に飛んでも、１２時まで待たないと送迎はありません。
時間に余裕持って参加されたらいいと思います。
待ちが長いので、時間に余裕の無い方は、送迎無し参加をオススメします！

North Shore Skydiving Adventure Tour with Oceanview - GoJump Hawaii

Ending the year right!

Reviewed by: No Pancake For You!

I was fortunate enough to end the last day of 2011by jumping out of a plane at 14000 ft high, Its probably the best thrill ride you could ever do.

The staff at Pacific Skydiving are friendly and knowledgeable, they keep to the KISS method, this way when you jump, you don't have to worry about anything other than enjoying the ride down.

I highly recommend anybody to jump with them if you can, the cost to jump with them is half the price at any other location I've looked up locally to me.

The sunset was beautiful. The observatories, including Subaru, reflecting the sunset were wonderful. Unfortunately, the starry sky was not very visible due to the bright moon, which was close to being full. It seemed that the staff's laser pointer for showing constellations was broken. It was a lack of preparation.

Oahu North Shore Beach Horseback Riding Experience - Daytime Tours

Wouldn't do this again

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

It was OK. No transportation goes to this activity to start with, so you have to rent a car to get there. They ask you to be the 1/2 hour early, but there is no good reason why because they tell you to go take a walk and are late anyway. The reason you need to bring a swim suit is to use their pool. It has nothing to do with the ride which is nose to tail and they not only would not late us take a camera but never volunteered to take any for us. The woman who seemed to run the tour had no personality at all. But the scenery was awesome :)

絶景スカイダイビング　一度は経験してみたい大空で味わうスリルと感動！ビデオ＆写真撮影付きプランあり　by ゴージャンプハワイ＜送迎付き＞

Fantastic!! ファンタスチック！！

Reviewed by: Birdie & Alpha

I spent my time in Hawaii focused on golf, but I was interested in this activity, which has a 65-year age limit. So, I signed up with my wife (I'm 63, and my wife is in her 50s). Our children are independent now, and my work doesn't cause too much trouble, so I thought it would be fine even if something unexpected happened.

I don't have a fear of heights, but sitting on a seat like a log made me feel uneasy as we reached a considerable altitude. However, I was bound to the instructor like a koi on a board, sliding down one after another. The one-minute free fall from 14,000 feet (4,267 meters) was incredible, with wind pressure at 200 km/h. I've experienced 200 km/h on a motorcycle, but the wind pressure on my entire body was incomparable.

According to the display, it was a 3,333-meter free fall!? However, since I didn't feel the G-force, it felt more like flying than falling. The cameraman fell alongside me, and I was able to strike poses as if swimming in the air. After the parachute opened, I had a bit of leisure time to look around, wondering where Turtle Bay Golf Course was and if I could see any whales, while also checking my altitude with the altimeter.

However, due to trying to show off, the sharp turns made me feel nauseous, and I just wanted to land quickly! Overall, it was an amazing, crazy experience. Thank you, RUNDY and ROBBY.

The only downside was the long wait time. We were picked up before 7 AM and arrived at the site by 8 AM. About ten people who came in the same vehicle started at different times. My wife and I ended up waiting for about four hours! Some people who arrived later were allowed to go before us. I wish there had been some consideration for the ten people who were in the same vehicle to jump around the same time or at least a way to indicate the order of jumping upon arrival.

ゴルフ主体でハワイを過ごすのですが、気になっていたこのアクティビティを６５歳の年齢制限があるという事で、
今回、家内とエントリーしました。（私６３歳、妻5？歳）
子供も独立しており仕事にもそれ程迷惑かからない状況になり、万が一の事があってもいいやと・・・
高所恐怖症はないのですが、丸太椅子のような座席に座り
かなりの高度になると不安がよぎりますが、もうインストラクタニーに縛られマナイタの鯉。すべるようにつぎつぎ降下。

すごい風圧。バイクでの200km/ｈは経験ありますが体全体にかかる風圧は比べものになりません。
この表示通りに計算すると3333ｍのFreeFall！？
ただＧを感じないので落ちているというより飛んでるとも。
手の届くところまでカメラマンが一緒に落ちていきますが
空中泳ぎをするようなゼスチャーもとれました。
パラシュートが開いてからは、ゴルフ場のタートルベイはどちら？とか、鯨は見えないかとか、腕の高度計を見せてもらったりと少し余裕？の空中散歩。
ところがミエを張ったおかげで、左右の旋回激しく、
船酔い状態になり、早く着地して！という気分になりました。
とにかく素晴らしいCRAZYな体験をさせてもらいました。
RUNDY、ROBBY　ありがとう。
ただ待ち時間の長いのには閉口しました。
7時前のピックアップ、8時に現場に着。同じ車できた10名程がばらばらでスタート。私達夫婦はなんと4時間程待たされる！後から車できた人に先に入れるとか。
少なくとも同乗の10人程は同じくらいに飛べる配慮をするとか、順番を到着時に提示してくれるとかして頂きたい。

Kauai Backcountry Treetop Canopy Zipline & Swimming Adventure with Lunch

Extraordinary Ziplining Experience

Reviewed by: Sue O

My family went on the ziplining tour and had a great time. My mom who is 75 years old probably had the best time of all. Our son is the only one who has been ziplining before and he really enjoyed it too.
The guides are very experienced and knowledgable and are very safety conscious.
The group had 11 people in it which was probably the best size to have, did not have to wait too long for your turn. The only bad thing was that in the beginning it was raining lightly so the pics did not turn out the best but as we continued zipping down the mountain the sun poked out in time for us to enjoy a nice picnic lunch in the valley.
The zipline site was unbelievable to see, so green and lush.
I would recommend this tour to everyone! I am afraid of heights but if you do not look down while on the platform your fears do not get to you. I felt very safe in the guides hands.

ハレアカラ山頂 夕日鑑賞＋星空観測ツアー　1名～参加OK！グループや家族連れにおすすめの貸切プランあり＜午後／日本語ガイド＞

It's hot, isn't it, Yamachan? 熱いねぇ、山ちゃん

Reviewed by: まっち～E

Please be prepared for "extreme cold" when you participate. Even though it's Hawaii, plan for significant warmth.

Honestly, my first impression was wondering what kind of tour has a gathering before evening and a disbanding after 10 PM. From a distance, Haleakalā looked gentle and not that cold. (In reality, it is extremely cold.) I got to meet a Nene and captured some orbs, making it a fun tour beyond just the starry sky.

The storytelling by Yamachan was quite passionate, drawing from personal experiences. Regardless of who Yamachan is, I recommend that participants in this tour open their hearts, even if just temporarily. While being cool and rebellious can be understood as self-expression, even small children were quietly listening.

Seeing the night sky with my own eyes was wonderful. I highly recommend it.

あっ、ご参加の時には「極寒」覚悟でお願いします。
ハワイですが、かなりの防寒を予定しておいてください。

集合は夕方前なのに解散が10時以降ってどんなツアー？ってのが正直な最初の印象でした。遠くから見るハレアカラはなだらかでそんなに寒そうじゃありませんでした。(本当は極寒です。)ネネさんにも会えたし、オーブも撮れたし、なかなか星空以外に葉っぱが付いて楽しいツアーでした。

語り部たる山ちゃんのお話は自己の体験になぞらえてなかなか熱いものでした。山ちゃんがどういう人かはさておいて、このツアーに参加される方は、仮初めでも心を開いてご参加されることをお勧めします。
クールで反抗期も自己表現として理解できますが、ちっちゃな子供ですら黙って聞き入っているですからね。

自分の目で見る夜空は素晴らしいものでした。

Exciting! Skydiving in the blink of an eye. ドキドキ～あっという間のスカイダイビング

Reviewed by: Tksh

Getting ready and going up in the Cessna is very exciting, but once you reach the altitude to jump, you quickly find yourself leaping out, and the free fall time ends in the blink of an eye.

After the parachute opens, you can descend slowly while enjoying a beautiful, never-before-seen panorama.

When it's all over, rather than feeling scared, I was left with a sense of exhilaration, and I wanted to do it again.

準備して、セスナで上空に行くまで、とてもドキドキしますが、飛び出す高度に達すると、あれよあれよと飛び出すことになり、自由落下の時間はあっという間に終わってしまいます。

パラシュートが開いてからは、とてもきれいな見たことのないパノラマをゆっくり見ながら降りてくることができます。

終わってみると、怖かったというより、気持ちよかったという感じが残って、またやってみたくなりました。

It was fun. 楽しかったです

You can ride for a very long time. Everyone's butt hurt after 2 or 3 days. Unlike horses that know the way and proceed in order, they tend to go wherever they want, trying to eat leaves and fruits. It was quite challenging, but I'm glad I had the experience of handling the horse. You really need to listen carefully to the instructions given at the beginning.

Even with quite a bit of rain, the ride doesn't get canceled. They lend you raincoats, but some raincoats only cover the upper body, so my pants got completely soaked. The color from the saddle transferred onto my pants.

The guide says, "Let me borrow your camera!" and takes pictures for you.

？とっても長い間乗ることができます。みんな2,3日お尻が痛くなりました。。
？馬が道を知っていて順序よく進むようなものと違って、行きたい方に行ったり、葉っぱや果実を食べようとしたりします。色々大変ですが、馬を操っている体験ができて良かったです。一番初めに説明してくれる操作の仕方をしっかり聞いておかないとダメです。
？けっこうな雨でも中止にはなりません。カッパは貸してくれますが、カッパによっては上半身だけのものもあるので、ズボンがびしょぬれになりました。ズボンに鞍の色が移ってしまいました。

The sensation of flying in the sky is amazing. 上空を飛ぶ感覚は最高です

Reviewed by: まゆまゆ

It's a tandem dive connected by a belt with a veteran instructor, so it's reassuring. I was nervous before jumping and even shed a few tears, but the moment I jumped, although it was scary, the feeling of flying through the air with the wind quickly overshadowed my fear. The free fall until the parachute opens allows you to directly experience the cold air at high altitude, which is a unique sensation you can't find elsewhere. It's thrilling, of course, but the scenery is also incredibly beautiful, and I highly recommend experiencing it at least once!

ベテランの人にベルトで繋がれて飛ぶタンデムダイブなので安心です。
飛ぶ前は緊張して涙が出ましたが、飛び降りた瞬間は怖いものの、風をきって空を飛んでいる感覚のほうがまさって、すぐに怖くなくなりました。
パラシュートが開くまでのフリーフォールは、上空の冷えた空気に直接触れているので、他では味わえない不思議な感覚です。
スリルあるのは当然ながら、景色がとてもきれいで、一度はぜひ体験することをおすすめします！

Oahu North Shore Beach Horseback Riding Experience - Daytime Tours

Not worth the money

My granddaughters and I went for the trail ride in November 2011 and were more excited about this activity than any other we were doing. We were told to be there 1/2 hour early and we were, but we had to wait, not only for other people, but for the instructors who said it was just because they were laid back. We then had to go through 1/2 hour of lecturing about the horses being athletes and spooked very easily and exactly how to do and not do EVERYTHING - from how to hold your hands almost to how to breath so you didn't spook these magnificent animals. We were not allowed to take cameras because the click of the camera may spook them and we were never offered the opportunity for anyone to take photos of us riding anywhere - especially on the beach. The unpleasant female who did all these instructions never came out of her funk. When we finally rode, the horses walked nose to tail and very slowly and never showed any signs of spunk or being spooked by anything. When we were done,

ハワイ島　ハイキング＆オフロードドライブ　滝遊びもあり ＜1日／昼食付／英語ガイド＞

Kohara Falls Tour コハラ滝ツアー

Reviewed by: こぱんだ

I thought this course would be perfect for us who love trekking, so I made a reservation. I was also attracted by the organizer's name, Hawaii Forest & Trail.

While I considered that since we had a rental car for waterfall trekking, we might not need a tour, I ultimately decided to leave it to the professionals.

At the time of booking, it was stated that there would be no pick-up service, but when I called to confirm on-site, I was pleasantly surprised to find out they would pick us up at our hotel. Additionally, they took our requests for the sandwich fillings for lunch. This really motivated us.

On the day of the tour, since it was an English-guided tour (with Mike as our guide), we had a diverse group including four families from Michigan, a Chinese American couple, a Japanese couple, and a Russian woman living in the U.S., along with us (with our 7-year-old child). It truly lived up to its name as a tour that everyone could enjoy.

With this group, we switched to an old military 6WD vehicle for an off-road experience. We bumped over private ranches and fields, and everyone was thrilled by the incredible vibrations and wind! It was quite cold. After that, we trekked through taro fields and across a suspension bridge, learning about ancient Hawaiian divination methods and plant names while visiting small waterfalls. Although we didn't swim due to the high water levels, I thought it would be a perfect spot in the summer.

The trekking was light enough that even our 7-year-old had no trouble, and we enjoyed a wrap sandwich filled with plenty of alfalfa, cheese, and turkey, along with guava juice and cookies at a ranch overlooking the stunning views of Pololu Valley. This wrap sandwich was among the top meals I had on the Big Island due to its location!

On the way back, we were jostled in the 6WD while exploring the town of Hawi. This town seems nostalgic to Westerners, and I heard from several people that it’s a nice place, although it’s not mentioned much in Japanese guidebooks.

The tour was different from those aimed at Japanese tourists, and I had a lot of fun. I got to know the other members well and exchanged various information, and Mike's warm hospitality along with the breathtaking photos of Pololu Valley left us with wonderful memories.

トレッキングが好きな私達にぴったりのコースだと思い予約しました。主催者の名前もHawaii Forrest & Trailで魅かれました。

滝トレッキングなら、レンタカーもしたしわざわざツアーでなくても良いかなとも思ったのですが、やはりそこはプロに任せることに。

予約時は送迎なしということでしたが、現地で電話で確認するとホテルまで迎えに来てくれるという嬉しい変更が。更に、昼食のサンドイッチの具のリクエストもきいてくれました。俄然やる気になる私達。

当日は、英語のガイドツアー（マイクさん）ということもあって、ミシガンからの4家族、チャイニーズアメリカンと日本人のカップル、在米ロシア人の女性一人参加、と私達（子供7歳）とまさにすべての人が楽しめるツアーと名をうっているだけのことはあるという、バリエーション豊かな面子でした。

このグループで、オーストリアの昔の軍用車６WDに乗り換えてのオフロード体験。私有地の牧場や、畑をがたがた超えてすごい振動と風にみんな大興奮！！かなり寒かったです。その後、タロ畑、つり橋をトレッキングし、ハワイ人古来の占い方法や植物の名前などを教わりながら小さな滝をめぐりました。増水していたので泳ぎはしませんでしたが、夏場だったら絶好の場所だと思いました。

7歳の子供でも全く足でまどいになることがない軽い感じのトレッキングで、ポロル渓谷の絶景を臨む牧場でたっぷりのアルファルファとチーズとターキーのラップサンドと、グアバジュース、クッキーを頂きました。このラップサンド、場所が場所だけに、ハワイ島で味わった食事１，２を争う美味しさでした！　

帰りは６WDに揺られて、HAWIの町を散策。この町は欧米人にはノスタルジックらしく、いい場所だと何人からもきいていましたが日本人のガイドブックにはあまり述べられていない場所です。

日本人向けのツアーと、またおもむきやメンバーが違って非常に楽しめました。他のメンバーとも仲良くなって色々情報交換もでき、マイクさんの暖かいホスピタリティーとポロル渓谷の絶景写真と非常によい思い出が残りました。

The location is great, and the horse training is very well done, so the horses are calm and you can enjoy trail riding with peace of mind.

At first, we did a 90-minute family trail ride at a walk. Other beginner families also participated, and we were able to enjoy it safely and happily.

Next, we went for a canter and encountered many horses and cows while they were grazing. Advanced riders can also enjoy this experience.

There are no vending machines here, so I think it's better to bring your own drinks.

It was a ranch where you can experience the authentic atmosphere of an American farm. It was nice and simple since it hasn't been commercialized as a tourist spot.

ロケーションも良く、また馬の調教もとても良くできていて、馬もおとなしいので安心して外乗できます。

初めはファミリーで常足外乗９０分しました。他の初心者のファミリーも参加しましたが安全に楽しくできました。

続いてキャンター外乗しましたが、放牧中のたくさんの馬や牛と出会いました。上級者の方も楽しめます。

ここは自販機が無いので飲料を持参するほうが良いと思います。

The schedule was as follows:
Hotel gathering → This tree, what tree → Dole → Haleiwa → Turtle watching → Horseback riding.
I had been to This tree, what tree and Dole before, so I thought it might not be necessary to go, but I planned to stop for a restroom break.
At Haleiwa, I was told to have lunch because horseback riding can be tiring, but it was still in the 10 o'clock hour and there were few open shops, so I couldn't eat.
I gave up on lunch and tried the rainbow shave ice at Matsumoto Shave Ice, but the taste was... However, I was satisfied because I could take a photo.
After that, I had a brief look at the turtles, and then it was finally time for horseback riding.

I chose the canyon route, and it was really fun.
The staff couldn't speak Japanese, but they provided a detailed explanation with pictures in Japanese at the waiting area regarding precautions for horseback riding, so I could understand the English explanations through gestures.
The staff were very nice, and they spoke to me in simple English that I could understand, which was enjoyable.
As for the horseback riding, the 90 minutes flew by. We rode through trees with mango and passion fruit trees and colorful flowers, and I enjoyed the view of the North Shore ocean from the horse's back.
I thought, what a luxurious experience this is! The ups and downs of the trail were also one of its charms. You can tell the horse gets excited as you approach the uphill.
I was so engrossed in having fun that I didn't notice until the return trip, but the skin on my fingers was peeling.
The horse is very smart, but it did try to nibble on grass and moved towards the trees at times, so it seems I got scratched somewhere.
Therefore, I think it's better to wear long pants and be mindful of your clothing.

スケジュールはこんな感じでした。
ホテル集合→この木なんの木→ドール→ハレイワ→亀見学→乗馬
この木なんの木、ドールは行ったことがあったので行かなくても…と思っていたのですが、トイレ休憩のつもりで。
ハレイワでは乗馬が疲れるのでランチを食べてきてくださいと言われたのですが、まだ時間が１０時台だったことや、オープンしているお店が少なかったので、食べれませんでした。
ランチは諦め、マツモトシェイブアイスでレインボーを頼んでみましたが、味は…。でも写真が撮れたので満足です。
その後亀をちょこっと見学して、いよいよ乗馬へ。

私は渓谷の方を選びましたが、すごく楽しかったです。
スタッフの方は日本語しゃべれませんが、乗馬の際の注意などは待合所？に絵つきの日本語で丁寧に説明があったので、英語の説明でもジェスチャーなどで理解出来ます。
スタッフの方もとてもいい方達で、私がわかる中学生程度の英語で話しかけて下さったり、楽しかったです。
肝心の乗馬ですが、９０分もあっという間。マンゴーやパッションフルーツの木や、色とりどりの花が咲いている木々の間を抜けて行ったり、馬の背からノースショアの海を眺めたり。
なんて贅沢な経験なんだと思いました。アップダウンが激しいのも魅力のひとつ。アップにさしかかると馬に気合が入るのが分かります。
夢中で楽しんでいたので帰りまで気がつかなかったのですが、指の皮が向けてました。
馬はとても利口ですが、途中草を食べようと木々の方へ寄ったり多少はするので、どこかで擦ってしまったようです。
なので、長ズボンを履くなど、服装は心がけたほうがいいと思います。

We decided on the schedule while looking at the travel itinerary and the moon phase, but the moon was a bit bright, and I felt that the number of visible stars was different compared to last time. I recommend being mindful of the moon phase when making your reservation.

When I went to the Big Island, I wanted to visit Kilauea Volcano and Mauna Kea. Since Mauna Kea is taller than Mount Fuji, I was concerned about altitude sickness, so last time I joined a tour of Kilauea Volcano! This time, I participated with my family of three in great health. The service was very attentive, providing warm drinks, clear explanations on how to behave, and enjoyable talks about the starry sky, making for a fun time. Thank you very much.

ハワイ島に行ったらキラェア火山とマウナケアは行きたいと思っていました。富士山よりも高いマウナケアは高山病など気になりましたので前回はキラウェア火山のツァーに参加！今回は万全な体調で家族３人で参加しました。とても行き届いたお世話で暖かい飲み物を準備してくださったり、行動の仕方、星空のトークは解りやすく、ひこまれるような楽しい時間でした。
ありがとうございました。

ノースショア（ハレイワ）観光　ハレイワタウンで3時間の自由散策＋ドールプランテーション！海辺の絶景を楽しめる乗馬付き(70分)プランあり＜1日／送迎付き＞

Horseback riding experience on the North Shore! Amazing! ノースショアでの体験乗馬！最高！

I had a wonderful experience horseback riding along the coastline while enjoying the view of the ocean at North Shore. Even as a beginner, I was able to enjoy a full 45 minutes of relaxed riding. The shrimp for lunch was also fantastic, and they provided transportation for us. It was deliciously buttery and satisfying. I feel like I might become really into horseback riding! I definitely want to go again.

ノースショアでの海を見ながらの、体験乗馬、素人でも、丸々４５分間たっぷり海岸縁を、ゆったり、乗馬を楽しませてもらいました。昼食のシュウリンプも
、わざわざ送迎してもらい、たっぷりプリプリのバター味、堪能できました。乗馬に凝ってしまいそうな気分！また、行きたいたいです。

マウナケア山頂夕陽と星空観測ツアー ガイド撮影の一眼カメラ写真を無料ご提供！＜夕食付き／英語ガイド＞by マサシネイチャースクール

It was cloudy, but the sunset was beautiful. 曇りだったけど、夕陽がキレイでした

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

The day I participated, the moon was bright due to the approaching full moon, making conditions not ideal for stargazing, and the thick clouds meant that the expected starry sky near the summit was not visible.

Even though the stars were not visible, the sunset sinking into the clouds was very beautiful, and it made me feel like I was above the clouds, which I think is one of the joys of the experience.

I also want to thank the staff who helped me find points where I could see the stars as I gradually descended by car, even though I couldn't see them near the summit!

Since the moon was bright due to the approaching full moon, I had them take a photo of the moon through the telescope, and I’m bragging to my friends about how clearly the craters are visible.

Thanks to the guidance on when to drink water in the car, I had no issues with altitude sickness, which I had been worried about. Next time, I would like to participate when the full moon is not approaching.

参加した日は、満月が近いので月が明るくて星の観測としては条件が良くない日で、さらに雲が厚かったので、頂上付近では期待通の満天の星空は見えませんでした。

星は見えなくても雲に沈んでいく夕陽がとてもキレイで、雲の上にいることを実感するので、それも楽しみの一つだと思います。

また、頂上付近で見えなかったから、と、車で少しずつ降りては星の見えるポイントを探して何とか観測させてくれたスタッフの方に感謝です！

満月が近くて月が明るいので望遠鏡から観た月の写真をカメラにおさめてもらい、月のクレーターがクッキリ見えているのを友人に自慢しています。

心配していた高山病も、車中でお水を飲むタイミングを指示してくれたりしたおかげで全く問題ありませんでした。
次回は満月近くを外して参加したいと思います。

クアロア・ランチ　乗馬体験(2時間)　映画ロケ地にもなった雄大な大自然を馬に乗って満喫！＜送迎付きプランあり＞

The scenery is amazing! 景色サイコー

I did the 2-hour buggy course.
Racing through the magnificent scenery?
The views were beautiful, and it felt amazing.
I don't think you can see everything in just one hour, so I recommend the 2-hour option!

バギー２時間コースをしましたが。
壮大な景色の中をバギーで疾走？
とにかく景色がきれいで、とても気持ちがよかったです。
１時間ではまわりきれないと思うので２時間おすすめ！

ハレアカラ山頂 夕日鑑賞＋星空観測ツアー　1名～参加OK！グループや家族連れにおすすめの貸切プランあり＜午後／日本語ガイド＞

Everything was excellent. すべてにおいて最高でした

Reviewed by: yuji

This was my first trip to Hawaii and my first solo trip abroad, and thanks to a recommendation from an acquaintance, I extended my stay in Maui. Specifically, I stayed in Maui for 11 days and then planned to spend 4 nights and 5 days in Oahu (I’m writing this on the 6th day in Maui). Since I was going abroad, I wanted to do things that I couldn’t experience on a personal trip! So, I focused on tours led by local professionals.

To cut to the chase, this tour was amazing, and more than anything, I was very fortunate to meet Yamapi in Maui. I was a bit anxious about traveling alone, but there were only five participants in total, including me and two couples, which made for a perfect group size to enjoy the experience.

First, the sunset was an incredible view like nothing I had ever experienced before, and I didn’t know how to express it, so all I could say was “Wow~~~” ^^; (After returning to the hotel and looking at the photos and videos I took with my digital camera, I could gradually feel the greatness of that moment.) In early December, there were very few Japanese and foreigners, so it was nice to be able to enjoy sightseeing in such a quiet environment.

I thought the sunset would be the highlight, but the stargazing turned out to be the main event of the tour. Yamapi, being a stargazing enthusiast, used high-performance equipment to show us some truly wonderful stars and the moon. Both the sunset and the stargazing were so fantastic that it felt like a scene from a movie, making it hard to tell whether it was reality or not.

Furthermore, as you can read from others' reviews, the most wonderful aspect was definitely Yamapi's personality and storytelling. He made sure that all participants were satisfied with thoughtful touches throughout the tour, which is what you would expect from a professional Japanese guide (laughs). The tour, with Yamapi’s storytelling in the car and listening to his favorite BGM, will surely become an unforgettable memory in my life (I’m still in my 20s and want to participate in local tours around the world, but I have a feeling that this first overseas local tour will become my all-time favorite ^^;).

Thank you so much for allowing me to experience such a wonderful tour! I am very grateful to Yamapi and Alan1.

Next time, I’d like to bring friends and family, maybe next year! Mahalo!

今回は初のハワイ＆海外一人旅でしたが、知り合いからの勧めもありマウイへの滞在を長くしました。具体的にはマウイへ11日間滞在しその後オアフへ4泊5日の予定です（この文章はマウイ6日目に書いてます）。どうせ海外へ行くなら個人旅行では体験できないことをしたい！というわけで現地のプロが行うツアー重視で考えていました。

結論から言いますとこのツアーは最高でしたし、そして何よりもヤマピーさんとマウイで出会えたことがとても幸いでした。私は一人旅なので少々不安でしたが、他は二組のご夫婦と私のみの合計5名の参加者でしたのでちょうど良い人数で楽しむことができました。

まずはサンセットですが、いままでに経験したことのない絶景でしたので何と表現したら良いかわからず、ただ「すげ~~~」としか言えませんでした^^;　（ホテルに帰ってからデジカメで撮った写真や動画を観るとその時の凄さがジワジワと実感できます）12月前半は日本人はもちろん外人さんも少ないので周りがとても静かな環境で観光できたのも良かったです。

そして、私はこれがメインかと思っていたのですが、天体観測が今回のツアーのメインでした。ヤマピーさんは天体観測マニアだけあって高性能なマシーンを駆使して私達にとても素敵な星々やお月様を見せて下さいました。サンセットも天体観測もそうですが、まるで映画の世界のようで現実なのか非現実なのかわからなくなるくらい素晴らしかったです。

さらに、他の方の感想も読むとわかりますが、一番素晴らしいのはやはりヤマピーさんの人柄と語りだと感じました。私達参加者が全員満足できるような工夫がいたるところでされていたので、さすがはプロの日本人だとも思いました（笑）車中や天体観測でのヤマピーさんの語りと車中のでヤマピーさんお気に入りのBGMを聴きながらのツアーは人生で忘れられない旅の思い出になると確信しています（私はまだ20代でこれから世界中の現地ツアーに参加したいと思っていますが、初の海外現地ツアーが歴代1位になりそうな予感がしています ^^;）

このような素敵なツアーを体験させていただき本当にありがとうございました！ヤマピーさんとAlan1さんにはとても感謝しております。

今度は来年あたりに友人や家族を連れてきたいです！マハロ！
